Is there a particular type of limited company I should establish in order to purchase buy to let property?

In the mortgage world there are two types of companies. The first are those which only hold property and do nothing else – these are known as Special Purpose Vehicles (or SPVs). Companies which do anything other than this are known as trading companies.

Most buy to let lenders which lend to Ltd Co’s will only lend to SPVs although there are a handful which will lend to trading companies.
